I found this post via Pinterest. I have followed you via Bloglovin' for a while and love your pieces! Thought you might be interested in a craqueleur finish that doesn't cost 8 zillion dollars and gets (IMHO) a more predictable result!

I have the ASCP Craqueleur and liked the look, but couldn't justify tiny bottles for so much money.

On a whim, I painted on some old, Behr crackle medium and let it dry. I then took clear Polyacrylic (no yellowing!) and painted that over it. Then I waxed it with dark wax. The effect is amazing. It finally looks like actual aging rather than a technique to create aging.

Your pieces and color combinations are very inspiring to me. Thanks for taking the time to share.
